vote: At-Large Board Director Election
by Adam Peake Nov. 28, 2010

Nov. 28, 2010

Dear Colleagues, I have just voted in the second round of the At-Large Board Director Election: I voted for Alan. Direction from the RALO has not been clear-cut. However, I think we should all be pleased that turnout of EU ALS in the first poll was high, over 70%. This is very much to the RALO's credit and a reflection of Wolf's good leadership. We have had problems with this process, but I think we predicted this would be the case as a result of the Board's slow decision regarding changes to the bylaws. EURALO has acquitted itself well. My main regret is that we were unable to increase the slate through petition. I am sorry Avri and Jean-Jacques were not candidates. I think Sebastien will be a passionate and highly dedicated At Large Director, a strong advocate for many of the principles we believe essential to the At Large. However, in considering the skills I think necessary for the board I believe Alan would be more be effective in building consensus around issues and overall he better meets what I consider to the be skill-sets required of a Director, not just an At Large representative. It is difficult to choose between people you like and respect. It was equally difficult in the first round, where I believe Pierre would have been an exceptional choice. I wish both candidates the very best of luck and thank all for their hard work and dedication to the At Large. Best, Adam

Resignating from ALAC
by Patrick Vande Walle Nov. 20, 2010

Nov. 20, 2010

Dear colleagues, As some of you already know, I have decided to resign from my position as a Euralo-elected ALAC member. My main professional position has changed a lot of the past months. Unfortunately, I am no more able to commit as much time to the work of the ALAC than before. I think it is in the best interest of Euralo, ALAC and the Alt-Large community as a whole to identify a person who could take my seat at the ALAC. In this perspective, I would like to nominate Oliver Crépin-Leblond, who has demonstrated over the years that he has the ideal mix of skills needed for the job: outstanding technical background, excellent diplomatic skills and a genuine interest to understand new issues as they come up. I wish to wholeheartedly thank the European ALSes for their trust and support over the past years. Be assured I will continue to contribute to the process to the best of my ability. Warm regards, -- Patrick Vande Walle Blog: http://patrick.vande-walle.eu Twitter: http://twitter.vande-walle.eu Facebook: http://facebook.vande-walle.eu LinkedIn: http://linkedin.vande-walle.eu
